# Inspiring words by my incredible friend Benjamin Prewitt! ~ Debs xox
Each day as we wake to face the rising sun we choose.
We choose to smile or frown
We choose to see the world in
Only a way that we can, a way through our eyes and our own interpretation
That make this life bearable and unique
To each one of us.
Today I choose to live with strength and forgiveness.
Today I choose to let the demons of yesterday die the a day gone bye.
As I rise on this day of all days I ask for forgiveness
Today as I rise a search the morning sky
For the strength to live my life with a pure heart, mind and soul.
For many in the world life is long and hard or full if the mundane.
More so than any can know sans those who live it through there eyes.
Today I choose to keep moving forward who will…

UNTITLED
You’d think that as people get older
They would choose not to cause others pain!
Yet with sadness I still do not understand
How people can do this again and again!
Why do they take this path still confuses me,
Why do they set out to use, then be ignorant and rude!
Sit in judgement, play silly games
And just be so damn inconsiderate and cruel.
It is something I will never understand,
Something I vow not to let change me…

# A truly brilliant must read series – it deserves more than 5 Stars!
*~*~*~*~*
Synopsis:
The holiday novella, Book 1.5, following the award-winning debut of Forged in Dreams and Magick in the Highland Legends Series:
Desperate to honor a life-long promise, Susanna MacEalan escapes her abusive clan with the fierce determination of never falling under the power of a man. Ever.
Aggravated by shallow-hearted pursuing lasses, Robert Brodie, commander of his clan’s elite guard, has foresworn scheming women. Forever.
When magick transforms Brodie Castle into a Christmas wonderland, the two despondent souls find solace in a most unexpected place . . . each other’s arms.
Amid a whirlwind of escalating events, Susanna’s traumatic past threatens Robert’s ability to protect the one woman meant for him. In a harrowing moment, as her fears and demons coalesce, will hope, faith, and love be enough to save them?

My Review:
Wow… with tears in my eyes and an ache in my chest I have just finished reading an exceptional love story by the incredible Author Kat Bastion.
This beautiful story is set in the Scottish Highlands and the time period is in the thirteenth century. It carries on from the first book in this “Highland Series” called “Forged in Dreams and Magick“, with the Brodie Clan celebrating their first Christmas! It’s filled with extremely loveable characters that make you wish you could find a portal so you could pop in for a visit… and maybe check out a hot alpha male or two wearing a sexy plaid/ or kilt <sigh> ;-P
“Bound by Wish and Mistletoe” tells you a poignant yet very sensual tale about a unique love story between a lass called Susanna and the Brodie Clan’s, Commander Robert. Two people who were not looking for love but when their paths accidentally cross, a connection is formed forever! These words from the last page – “What is the greatest Magick?” – Susanna. “Tis a miracle, rather! That two people who’d given up hope of findin’ love in this world, collided together.” – Robert …completely melted my heart!
I love this Authors writing style, as you find yourself drawn into a wonderful and magical tale that she is telling… the only way to explain how it makes me feel is like when I was a child and had stories read to me and the wide eyed wonder that I felt!
